Professional power cable connectors and receptacles designed for rack-mounted audio equipment, amplifiers, and power distribution systems where secure, locking connections are essential. This matched pair provides both the male connector and female panel-mount receptacle for complete power connection solutions.

Each connector features twist-lock technology that prevents accidental disconnection during performances or installations. The 3-pole design handles line, neutral, and ground connections for standard AC power applications, while the metal latch lock mechanism ensures cables stay firmly seated even in high-vibration environments.

The solderless termination design allows for quick, reliable connections without requiring specialized soldering equipment. Both connectors use heavy-duty construction with metal housings that resist wear from repeated connect/disconnect cycles. The panel-mount receptacle installs cleanly in rack cases, amplifier enclosures, or custom power distribution panels.

These connectors work well in touring rack systems, permanent installations at venues, and custom power distribution setups where equipment must be frequently connected and disconnected. They're particularly valuable for mobile DJ setups, band rigs, and church sound systems where reliable power connections prevent mid-performance failures.

Installation requires standard wire stripping tools and basic electrical knowledge. The package includes one male power connector and one female panel-mount receptacle. Seismic Audio backs these connectors with reliable construction for professional applications and fast shipping to get your system running.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the connector and receptacle in this pair?

The connector is the male plug that attaches to your power cable, while the receptacle is the female socket that mounts into your equipment panel or rack case. Together they create a secure, locking power connection that prevents accidental disconnection during use.

How does the twist-lock mechanism work?

Insert the male connector into the female receptacle and twist clockwise until it locks in place. The metal latch mechanism holds the connection securely until you twist counterclockwise to release. This prevents cables from falling out due to vibration or accidental tugging.

Do I need special tools to install these connectors?

You'll need basic wire stripping tools and a screwdriver for the panel mount installation. The solderless design means no soldering equipment is required - just strip the wires and secure them in the terminal connections following standard electrical practices.

What size equipment racks or panels do these work with?

The panel-mount receptacle fits standard equipment rack mounting holes and can be installed in custom power distribution panels, amplifier rear panels, or rack-mount power strips. They're commonly used in 19-inch audio equipment racks and mobile DJ cases.

Are these connectors suitable for high-current amplifier applications?

These 3-pole connectors handle standard AC power connections for most professional audio equipment. However, for high-current amplifier applications over 15 amps, verify your specific power requirements and local electrical codes before installation to ensure proper current rating.
